Risk Management + Area of Focus

HIPAA TOPIC: Securing Patient Information

  • Use Encrypted Email and Messaging : When sending patient information electronically, always use encrypted email to send patient information. When using messaging or chat please use patient initials.

  • Verify Recipient Identity: Before sharing any patient information, always verify the identity of the recipient including confirming name and date of birth.

  • Minimize Information Shared: Share only the minimum necessary information required for the purpose of the communication. Avoid disclosing any additional personal details unless absolutely necessary.

  • Respect Boundaries with Personal Acquaintances: Employees must not access medical records or information of friends or family. Accessing such information without a legitimate work-related reason is a violation of HIPAA and breaches patient trust.

Dental

  • Dental hours are updated weekly

  • Current walk- in policy:

    • We do not have a set “walk-in” time (this will change in the near future) due to staffing.

    • However, if a patient has an emergency we do give them the option to be a walk-in patient that we may work into the schedule if possible depending on the availability and show rate of the patients currently scheduled in the operatories.

    • University of Minnesota Dental Students:

      • NACC has the pleasure of hosting 4th year dental students during their clinical rotations. The students run the operatories, while the scheduled providers oversee their work and step in as needed.
